How much did your surgery/laparoscopy cost?

UPDATE: thanks everyone! My husband and I learned that our co-insurance and max-out-of-pocket rates are high! We pay 20% for procedures, and our max out-of-pocket is $15k.

So, even though we'd met our $3,500 deductible, we still have to cover a lot out of pocket! I rescheduled my lap for April! For 2025, My husband & I are switching to a plan that has 10% co-insurance and $1,000 max out-of-pocket! Thanks again for saving my family a ton of money!

ORIGINAL POST:

I have my laparoscopy scheduled in a little over a week, and I need to decide soon if I am going to move forward with it. My out-of-pocket cost is about $11,000: $1,200 surgeon fee, $1,000 anesthesiologist fee, and $9,000 hospital bill. I'm in the network; my deductible is met. Is this normal?

For reference, I have United Heath Care through my husband's employer (I know there are different plans, though), and I live in Dallas, Texas. I've heard of people going overseas for a fraction of the cost. Have you done this? The price has me considering going to Spain, where I was quoted much less by a surgeon I respect. I'm also considering changing my health care plan. Thanks so much!
